Following leaked on set photos of Han Solo from the as-yet officially titled film, Emilia, 30, shared an officially sanctioned video of Star Wars fan favourite and imposing Wookie Chewbacca, to celebrate reaching 10 million followers on the social network.

On the post, she wrote: ‘In a Instagram far far away……. (Or in pinewood backlot filming #untitledhansolomovie) One CHEWBACCA (and one @emilia_clarke) wanted to THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU 10 MILLION WONDERSTAR-INCREDIBLE DREAM MAKERS for following me!!! [sic].

‘Yup. Those dreamboats at @starwars said yes, this furry ball of joy could help me thank you personally… @joonassuotamo you are more than just a cute nose and lotta hair to me,’ she said reffering to actor Joonas Suotamo the man behind the Wookie.

The new film also stars Alden Ehrenreich as a young Han Solo, Woody Harrelson as mentor Beckett, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian and Phoebe Waller-Bridge as an unspecified motion-capture character.
